Back in the 80s I played a module with some friends, all I remember was that our game ended, shortly after it began, when we ended up locked in a room with a golem.
By chance does anyone have any ideas what module this could be? It was probably pre-1987.
There was a death trap like this in Vault of the Drow, but that is a high level adventure.
Are you sure it was a 1st level module. I know most of the 1st edition modules practically by heart, i can't even think of one that is 1st level that features any sort of Golem. You have WGR1 – Greyhawk Ruins which features crafting manuals for Golems, but I don't recall there being any Golem traps in that one.
Its possible your GM through that in there on his own.

Thank you for any suggestions,

Is that all you remember? Do you know the level?

Was it Mordenkainen's Fantastic Adventure?

It would have been for level 1 characters. Or should have been. We were newbs.
I don’t remember it being a Greyhawk adventure.

Anything’s possible. It might have been higher than first level, but this was the first game we played.
For years I had it in my head we played the original Ravenloft module. Could that be possible if we started higher than level one?
